Description
A postcard, postdated November 22 2014, bearing a message in L.M. Montgomery's handwriting addressed to "Mr. Geo. B. MacMillan". George Boyd MacMillan (1881-1953) was a Scottish journalist and writer, and a favourite correspondent of L.M. Montgomery. The two were first introduced, by letter, in 1903, through an American writer who was developing a circle of literary pen friends. Although Montgomery and MacMillan only met briefly in-person, during her 1911 honeymoon in Scotland, their voluminous exchange of letters, postcards, and gifts continued until late 1941, just months before Montgomery's death.
PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT: "Received your letter. Will write soon. We have a new baby boy here. Born October 7th. Sorry to learn you were not very well. We are all feeling the dreadful strain of the war. L.M. Macdonald."
